The School of Education at the University of Strathclyde is proud to present two events targeting the hot topic of research engagement in Scottish education.

This lecture-based session will take our examination of research engagement up a level and study the concept of a research-engaged education community. It will look at the ways evidence can be used (and abused) in the school system and how its use can become central to a model of professionalism. Professor Wall’s four principles for generating a community of professional learning (published in the GTCS Thinking Scotland magazine, January 2018) will be introduced and used to encourage critical engagement with the challenges for system-wide uptake of a practitioner enquiry approach. Using three models of school-university partnership, we will encourage participants to think about how partnerships can be used as a spring-board to a productive and practical research culture.
